Not Cool USA Network, NOT Cool

"The 4400" is kaput.

On a slightly more positive note (well, as positive as you can get during this crazy strike), NBC will re-air eps of USA Network's other shows, as opposed to completely filling their schedule with reality crap.

Here's an official statement from "The 4400" creator, Scott Peters:

To all the wonderful fans of The 4400

It's with great sadness that I pass along to you the information I've just received -- The 4400 has been cancelled. We've had a great time bringing you this story and submersing you in the lives of all these incredible characters. Thank you especially to the folks on the board here whose tireless devotion to the show is nothing short of remarkable.

Shout out to Bubba, by the way! I love your posts, man.

I just spoke to Joel and we had a great talk about what we all accomplished and how much we'll miss our family that is our crew and our cast... and our fans. But at least we got to go out with a bang! I had an awesome time directing the last episode. I think I got to make almost every single cast member cry (on camera). How much fun was that?!

So let me raise my metaphorical glass to you all and thank you for being so loyal and so dedicated. I wish we could go on forever, but the party has come to an end. Be well and on behalf of all of us at The 4400 -- thank you, it's been a pleasure.

"Are You Having a Laugh?"

The brilliantly awkward and hilarious series concludes tonight with an 80-minute Christmas special:

This holiday season: be careful what you wish for. Andy Millman — now the star of a hit, albeit lowbrow, sitcom — discovers success isn't all it seems. Desperate for respect, Millman is about to take drastic measures that will turn his life upside down.

But does Andy have the talent and savvy it takes to get his wish: to be both respected and famous?

Special guest stars: George Michael, Clive Owen (yay!), David Tennant and Gordon Ramsay.

This BBC site has a great recap of the entire series.
